MANILA – Drug enforcement authorities in the US went after a Filipino-American who leased a portion of a farm at the LPL ranch in Lipa, Batangas where 80 kilos of shabu allegedly from the Siniloa Mexican Drug Cartel were found.

Atty. Roque Merdegia of the Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force said US authorities searched the homes of Fil-Am Jorge Torres in California. Torres is said to be a member of the drug cartel.

Authorities also discovered that some members of Independent Soldiers, a notorious drug trafficking group in Canada, are already here in the country, following the raid in the condominium they rented in Fort Bonifacio which they used as a laboratory for illegal drugs.
